animals

insanlığın günümüzdeki durumunu özetleyen, okullarda ders olarak okutulası albüm.

albümde adı geçen hayvanlar toplumdaki bazı kesimleri temsil etmektedir.

sheep (koyunlar) : sıradan halk, sesi çıkmayanlar
dogs (köpekler) : sistemi koruyanlar, ondan faydalananlar, gücü tadanlar fakat tam anlamıyla sahip olamayanlar
pigs (domuzlar) : sistemin tepesindekiler, diğer kesimleri sömürenler

sözü geçen sisteme baş kaldıranlar ise pigs on the wing...

çok sağlam basslara sahip bir nickelback şarkısı..

türkçesi "hayvanlar" olan ingilizce kelime.

muhteşem bir nickelback şarkısı. sözlerinin kopipesti:
I, I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me
tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'

[CHORUS]
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals (animals)

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in

You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'

[CHORUS]

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals (animals)
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in

We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was
kissing
Screamin'

[CHORUS]

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals (animals)
So come on baby, get in
We're just a couple animals (animals)
Get in, just get in
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we're in
We're just a couple animals
Get in, just get in

Konsept albüm ve siyasi metin olarak Roger Waters ve ekibin büyük bir eseri olan albümdür animals. Özellikle dogs ve pigs (three different ones) muhteşem parçalardır. Fakat grubun kendi içindeki kırılmaya başladığı da bu albümde anlaşılabilir. Zira albümde çok başarılı bir performans çıkaran David Gilmour sadece dogs şarkısının yarısını söyleyebilmiştir. Bunun dışındaki her şarkı Waters tarafından söylenmiştir. Gene de wish you were here ve the wall arasındaki sahip olduğu zamanlama ile dikkat çeken ve bir parça da göz ardı edilmiş ilginç bir albüm.

boom boom ve don't let me be misunderstood isimli iki harika parcaya daha sahip olan grup.

mükemmel bir sara lov parçası.

You and I, we'll never realize
Fleeting moments that pass by
Are all we ever have.
Either in doubt or never in doubt,
Always run away, always run away.
What kind of animal are we?
I always knew you'd make a fool of me.
And I could never look you in the eye,
You prove me right so do not ask me why.
What kind of animal are we?
I should have never let you into me.
But I never, never learned to swim
Until you came around and pushed me in.
Either in love, or never in love
Always run away, always run away.
I want to know,
I gotta know
What are you made of?
What are you made of.

pink floyd bu albümde george orwellın hayvan çiftliğinden esinlenmiştir.

house of the rising sun adlı başyapıta sahip grup.

pink floyd'un en güzel albümlerinden biridir, bir diğeri için (bkz: dark side of the moon)

albümün plak ve cd versiyonları için şöyle bir tracklist var iken;

Side one
"Pigs on the Wing 1" (Waters) – 1:24
"Dogs" (Gilmour, Waters) – 17:06

Side two
"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" (Waters) – 11:28
"Sheep" (Waters) – 10:21
"Pigs on the Wing 2" (Waters) – 1:27

albümün kaset versiyonunda pigs (three different ones) kasetin iki yüzüne de yayılmıştır. kasedin her yüzünde iki buçuk'ar şarkı bulunur yani.

pink floydla tanıştığım ilk albumdur. Kuzenimin odasından gelen hayvan seslerine yöneldiğimde onu kendinden geçmişcesine floyd dinlerken bulduğumda çok etkilenmiş ve bende dinlemeliyim demiştim.

Sign Of The Hammer albümünde bulunan manowar parçası...

Hear the call of the wild in us all
It waits for the night to fall
I'm getting hot, I'm ready for the night
No holdin' back, let's ball
I'm gonna give all you can take all night
And leave you in the morning feeling right

I'm an animal, there's an animal in me
Gonna set it free
I'm an animal, there's an animal in me
Gonna set it free

I've been looking, you've been watching the side
There's somethings you just can't hide
Oh, your getting wet, your working up a sweat
Your hairs standing up on end
Your skin is screaming, glad we met?
Tonight's one night you won't forget

I'm an animal, there's an animal in me
Gonna set it free
I'm an animal, there's an animal in me
Gonna set it free

müziğinden çok sözleriyle insana gaz veren All The Right Reasons albümünden fevkalade bir nickelback eseri.
